Designer furniture that marries Chinese tradition to a modern, minimal aesthetic.

Handmade in China

Since the days of the Ming dynasty, Chinese craftsmen have created furniture of timeless beauty. Working for a sophisticated elite, the pieces they produced have a graceful elegance and classic restraint that has never lost its appeal.

The Forbidden City collection represents a celebration of these craftsmen and their profound understanding of the materials with which they work.  Every piece is exquisitely handcrafted. Some breathe new life into traditional designs, adapting their dimensions and proportions to the demands of contemporary living. Others play variations on an original theme, taking influences from Beijing Opera to classic literature, often introducing the vibrant colours that are an integral part of Chinese culture. Finally, there are those pieces that marry Chinese tradition to a minimal modern aesthetic, incorporating new materials and new techniques, to create something that is uniquely of its time.
